  1. Geeze, Hitler and Papa Doc, no I'm not concerned about putting Bush on that short list at all. I guess all his rhetoric about Christian family values was just that, rhetoric. And I wonder who this "God" is that he talks to every day. In the words of the late, great "Church Lady" "Could it be... SATAN?!?" heh
  2. Patriot Act II my friend. And I am just showing you the door, you have to go through it.
  3. Yes I will, ha ha. Feel free to do some research into what illuminati is, how it is the birth of Freemasonry, what Freemasonry is, and how their symbols are used in Skull and Bones. In other words connect the dots, and then laugh.
  4. Oh don't be stupid. We are talking about conpiracies between evil fucking men, who care nothing about the sanctity of life, only about their own power and money. Ignorance is bliss huh? Ever hear of the Bohemian Grove? Why are the leaders of our nation committing a mock human sacrifice to an Owl idol in the middle of the woods? Ask yourself that, if there is no conspiracy, and Bush is a man of god, why was he there? What god does he really worship?
  5. Sweet. Just don't turn it over when they ask you for it.
  6. Yeah but you can take it apart in about 30 seconds.
  7. OK since no one wants to read the "Patriot Act II" here is a distillation from the ACLU Among its most severe problems, the bill Diminishes personal privacy by removing checks on government power, specifically by Making it easier for the government to initiate surveillance and wiretapping of U.S. citizens under the authority of the shadowy, top-secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. (Sections 101, 102 and 107) Permitting the government, under certain circumstances, to bypass the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court altogether and conduct warrantless wiretaps and searches. (Sections 103 and 104) Sheltering federal agents engaged in illegal surveillance without a court order from criminal prosecution if they are following orders of high Executive Branch officials. (Section 106) Creating a new category of "domestic security surveillance" that permits electronic eavesdropping of entirely domestic activity under looser standards than are provided for ordinary criminal surveillance under Title III. (Section 122) Using an overbroad definition of terrorism that could cover some protest tactics such as those used by Operation Rescue or protesters at Vieques Island, Puerto Rico as a new predicate for criminal wiretapping and other electronic surveillance. (Sections 120 and 121) Providing for general surveillance orders covering multiple functions of high tech devices, and by further expanding pen register and trap and trace authority for intelligence surveillance of United States citizens and lawful permanent residents. (Sections 107 and 124) Creating a new, separate crime of using encryption technology that could add five years to any sentence for crimes committed with a computer. (Section 404) Expanding nationwide search warrants so they do not have to meet even the broad definition of terrorism in the USA PATRIOT Act. (Section 125) Giving the government secret access to credit reports without consent and without judicial process. (Section 126) Enhancing the government's ability to obtain sensitive information without prior judicial approval by creating administrative subpoenas and providing new penalties for failure to comply with written demands for records. (Sections 128 and 129) Allowing for the sampling and cataloguing of innocent Americans' genetic information without court order and without consent. (Sections 301-306) Permitting, without any connection to anti-terrorism efforts, sensitive personal information about U.S. citizens to be shared with local and state law enforcement. (Section 311) Terminating court-approved limits on police spying, which were initially put in place to prevent McCarthy-style law enforcement persecution based on political or religious affiliation. (Section 312) Permitting searches, wiretaps and surveillance of United States citizens on behalf of foreign governments - including dictatorships and human rights abusers - in the absence of Senate-approved treaties. (Sections 321-22) Diminishes public accountability by increasing government secrecy; specifically, by Authorizing secret arrests in immigration and other cases, such as material witness warrants, where the detained person is not criminally charged. (Section 201) Threatening public health by severely restricting access to crucial information about environmental health risks posed by facilities that use dangerous chemicals. (Section 202) Harming fair trial rights for American citizens and other defendants by limiting defense attorneys from challenging the use of secret evidence in criminal cases. (Section 204) Gagging grand jury witnesses in terrorism cases to bar them from discussing their testimony with the media or the general public, thus preventing them from defending themselves against rumor-mongering and denying the public information it has a right to receive under the First Amendment. (Section 206) Diminishes corporate accountability under the pretext of fighting terrorism; specifically, by Granting immunity to businesses that provide information to the government in terrorism investigations, even if their actions are taken with disregard for their customers' privacy or other rights and show reckless disregard for the truth. Such immunity could provide an incentive for neighbor to spy on neighbor and pose problems similar to those inherent in Attorney General Ashcroft's "Operation TIPS." (Section 313) Undermines fundamental constitutional rights of Americans under overbroad definitions of "terrorism" and "terrorist organization" or under a terrorism pretext; specifically by Stripping even native-born Americans of all of the rights of United States citizenship if they provide support to unpopular organizations labeled as terrorist by our government, even if they support only the lawful activities of such organizations, allowing them to be indefinitely imprisoned in their own country as undocumented aliens. (Section 501) Creating 15 new death penalties, including a new death penalty for "terrorism" under a definition which could cover acts of protest such as those used by Operation Rescue or protesters at Vieques Island, Puerto Rico, if death results. (Section 411) Further criminalizing association - without any intent to commit specific terrorism crimes - by broadening the crime of providing material support to terrorism, even if support is not given to any organization listed as a terrorist organization by the government. (Section 402) Permitting arrests and extraditions of Americans to any foreign country - including those whose governments do not respect the rule of law or human rights - in the absence of a Senate-approved treaty and without allowing an American judge to consider the extraditing country's legal system or human rights record. (Section 322) Unfairly targets immigrants under the pretext of fighting terrorism; specifically by Undercutting trust between police departments and immigrant communities by opening sensitive visa files to local police for the enforcement of complex immigration laws. (Section 311) Targeting undocumented workers with extended jail terms for common immigration offenses. (Section 502) Providing for summary deportations without evidence of crime, criminal intent or terrorism, even of lawful permanent residents, whom the Attorney General says are a threat to national security. (Section 503) Completely abolishing fair hearings for lawful permanent residents convicted of even minor criminal offenses through a retroactive "expedited removal" procedure, and preventing any court from questioning the government's unlawful actions by explicitly exempting these cases from habeas corpus review. Congress has not exempted any person from habeas corpus -- a protection guaranteed by the Constitution -- since the Civil War. (Section 504) Allowing the Attorney General to deport an immigrant to any country in the world, even if there is no effective government in such a country. (Section 506) Given the bipartisan controversy that has arisen in the past from DOJ's attempts to weaken basic checks and balances that protect personal privacy and liberty, the DOJ's reluctance to share the draft legislation is perhaps understandable. The DOJ's highly one-sided section-by-section analysis reveals the Administration's strategy is to minimize far-reaching changes in basic powers, as it did in seeking passage of the USA PATRIOT Act, by characterizing them as minor tinkering with statutory language designed to bring government surveillance authorities, detention and deportation powers, and criminal penalties "up to date." This ACLU section-by-section analysis of the text of the legislation, however, reveals that the DOJ's modest descriptions of the powers it is seeking, and the actual scope of the authorities it seeks, are miles apart. The USA PATRIOT Act undercut many of the traditional checks and balances on government power. The new draft legislation threatens to fundamentally alter the constitutional protections that allow us as Americans to be both safe and free. If adopted, the bill would diminish personal privacy by removing important checks on government surveillance authority, reduce the accountability of government to the public by increasing government secrecy, further undermine fundamental constitutional rights of Americans under an already overbroad definition of "terrorism," and seriously erode the right of all persons to due process of law. WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS ABOUT THIS ATROCITY. Not as if it will make a difference.
  8. And yet there are later tapes of him still alive. Hmmmmm.
  9. Hey I have a .40, but I think a full clip of 9mm rounds would stop someone just fine, specially if it is coming from my Beretta Storm.
  10. No no no. Patriot Act II, as in 2, as in you can be put in jail for life without trial for "Acts of Terrorism" which are loosely defined as "acts which endanger life". Just read it, and be afraid. Mostly I agree with what you are saying, but I think that securing the border, no matter what cost, would do a whole hell of a lot more for our "security" and the war on terror than shipping our troops off to random middle eastern nation. Imagine the funds spent in reverse.
  11. Well the problem with this idealogy is that the external threats are not being dealt with. Our borders are still wide open, and foreign people with questionable allegiances are still being given visas. It is obvious to me that the whole thing is a ruse. If we were really concerned about terrorists in this country, we would close the borders and throw out anyone with an Islamic background. We would say "Sorry world, but until we feel safe we have to be the un-PC nation." These two things combined would stop terrorism in this country dead in its tracks. Yet instead we invade a soverign nation, most likely creating more terrorists, and definately creating more of an angry sentiment toward us the world over. The Bush camp has no intention of winning the "war on terror" or terr, whichever it is, just as his father had no intention of winning the war on drugs. It is in their best interests, monitarily, and in terms of power control, to keep us afraid. Who is making the money when fear causes a rise in gas prices? Again, read the Patriot Act II, otherwise known as the The Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003 http://www.publicintegrity.org/dtaweb/downloads/Story_01_020703_Doc_1.pdf If that isn't Orwellian, then even Orwell didn't know anything about dystopia.
  12. What about the HK 9mm USP? I don't have any experience shooting at people, and never want to, but this indestructable beauty is sure fun to shoot, and accurate.
